You might remember I wrote asking for help a few months ago.
I needed help with my family tree for my Dad who was turning 90 on November
8th.
Through the soundexes this is what I have at this point:
Abraham Eddins married Amanda J Miller 12-22-1840
William Abraham Eddins married Sarah Catherine
William Clyde Eddins married Rebecca Jane Hinegardner
Fred Albert Eddins ( now 90) married Susan Lucinda Rakes
Fredda Sue Eddins (me) married Ronald Michael Basham
Michael Kevin Basham married Sylvia Mae Goode

Also have more information on other Eddins families in the same soundexes
I will send these on a separate email. Hope they will help someone else.
I still have not ruled out some of the families as related just do not have
anything to confirm it at this time.

As a new member, I've been asked to post my line. The furtherest back
I can go is:
Elizabeth EDINS(EDENS/EDDINS) married Thomas GOOD(E) (both from VA)
and had Elizabeth Mildred GOOD(e) in Ohio in 1829. She married John HENDREN.
Their daughter, Sarah Elizabeth HENDREN married Arthur DEFORD.
Their daughter, Byrde Melissa DEFORD married Charles Miller KISER.
Their daughter, Margaretha Mary KISER married Raymond L. LOWE
and they had me, Pamela LOWE.

I am very new at this but wanted to add my ancestors to the list.
My father was Orien Finley Jack Eddings, married to Roberta Nash
Eddings. Born in Logan County, Kentucky. His father was George Edward
Eddings, married to Myrtle Brown Eddings. I don't know my great
grandfather's first name, but know that he was married to a Key.
George Edward and Myrtle Brown Eddings had 7 children - Elmer, George
Freeman, Bess, Mable, Orien Finley, Rose and Maude. I believe that my
grandfather might have come from Tennessee, because he had some family
in Westmoreland, Tennessee. My father always stated there was some
Indian ancestry in the family, but am not sure how this comes in.
If anyone has any information on this branch of the Eddings family, I
would appreciate hearing from you.
Peggy Eddings Hall

Dear Bill,
This is a wonderful page. I have not connected with the Eddings family, but
since there are Middletons in the Eddings family, I will send my line to
you. If you would be interested in adding it I will appreciate that, if not
I will understand. Thanks. Dorothy Flesher

In looking at your website yesterday, I looked at all the Eddings families that have been listed with great grandparents, etc. It dawned on me that I have never listed my family. I am listing my ancestors and would appreciate it if you would list it for me . Here it is.

Hi Bill,
I ran across your website last night and I am fascinated with it. We are distant kin by the way. My sisters and I have been trying for a very long time to find out if we can get a Cherokee roll number. I used to listen to my grandma Pansy Elva (Middleton) Wilson tell stories of living for a while on a cherokee reservation. The stories were so interesting. I miss grandma dearly so viewing your sight has been interesting and made me feel close to her again. Please let me know if you think we have a chance to get a cherokee roll number. My sister is struggling with health issues and has no insurance and is a single mom. So it would be most helpful if we could get the information.
Me: Sherry Holeman (Graham)
My Mother: Thayla May Wilson / Married - Billy Dean Graham -
had five children Glenda Sue married Tommy Owen, Janice Fay married Leland Burkett, Joyce Dean married Dale Lantz, Sherry Jean married Randal Holeman, Tommie Nell married John McNeal now divorced.
My Grandma: Pansy Elva Middleton / Married - Finis Alexander Wilson they had 3 children - Thayla May, Priscilla Ruth, Dale Ray
My Great Grandfather - James A. Middleton / Married - " Molly" Mary Copeland (her parents were Burrell Francis Copeland & Lucretia Slocum) James and Molly had 7 children - Edward G, Frances, Jessie, Pansy (My Grandma), Ruby, Sallie, Lillie Oma
My GG Grandfather - Charles C Middleton (Some say his middle name was Cecil or Cephus) Married - Mary Jane Breeze
My GGG Grandfather - William Harris Middleton (His parents were William Middleton and Sarah Jenkins Harris) / Married -
My GGG Grandmother - Nancy Elizabeth Eddings (her parents were John Eddings and Francis Elizabeth Weaver)
My GGGG Grandfather - John Eddings married Francis Elizabeth Weaver (My GGGG Grandma) (her parents were Dave Weaver and Tooley or Toonie Aquila I think.

Hello, Mr. Cook!
My name is David Lee.
In recent weeks, my best friend, my Aunt and I have been combing back through our family history...as there's been next to no light shed on our lineage and roots. We were able to find names, and my best friend began to trace them back, and it's come to light that I am a descendant of John Eddings and Elizabeth Weaver myself. As I said on the Facebook group page: During our search, we've uncovered that I've descended from John Eddings and Elizabeth Weavervia their son William Caswell Eddings and Edna Moody via their daughter Elizabeth Eddings and John Conway Jefferson Lee.via their son Robert David Lee and Louisa Taylor via their son Robert Nelson Lee and Letha Mary Ladd via their son Henry David Lee who is my grandfather. My grandmother was Loraine Vernice Millett (House upon marriage), and my mother is Anita Lee. My aunt is Le'Nel Lee, and my uncle is James House.
I hope to hear back from you on this connection and to establish a solid link to our family! Thank you for your time! David Lee Posted 3/23/2011

I am decended from: John C.J. Lee and Elizabeth Eddings Lee through
William C. Lee to S. D. Lee to E.E. Lee then me
Does anyone have the info from A.S. Sturgil files that will help me on
the Earler times of this family Group?

I do enjoy hearing about how we are all related so here is my connection
with the Eddings family. There is still a problem with the spelling of my
grandmother's name (whether it is Penina or Penine). Her only living son
seems to think it was Penine but so far, I have not been able to confirm
that. She disliked it so much that she just went by Nina (both marriage
certificate and gravestone).

I have enjoyed being on the Eddings list. Thanks for any input you might
have on the above lines. I can add dates/places and such for anyone else
who is interested further. My parents would not believe me when I told them
that I thought they were cousins!! ps John Eddings is thought to be descended
from Theophilus Eddins who is son of Wm Edens and Rebecca Firth although
this theory is unproven.

Hello all,
Here is our Eddings connection:Dwight C. Eddings b. Feb. 12, 1894 married Opal P. Creek on July 5, 1920.
Opal was b. March 20, 1902 and died Sept. 3, 1961.Opals mother was Zelphia Beard, and Beards are a very large part of our
tree. Would there be any chance of someone else researching this branch?Thank you,Kim

Note, by Bill Cook: Dwight is descended from, James Thomas Eddings, James
Bird Eddings, John and Elizabeth Weaver Eddings.

This list is great! You have done a great job putting it together, and
I am very grateful this is my line so far-

John Eddings and Elizabeth Weaver, parents of William Riley,James Eddings son of William Riley and Bonnie?James Alfred Eddings, son of James Eddings and Mary TuckerJohn Franklin Eddings son of James Alfred and Lela Mae Watkins married
Geneva Hallmark in Etowah, AR.
This is my mother and father, my name at birth Betty Joyce Eddings,
I have one sibling Wanda Louise.

My mother {Geneva} died in childbirth when I was 2 years old and my sister
was 4 years old, the baby, a boy Franklin Eddings died a few months later.
In 1939 my father remarried to Joyce Jeanetta Lawson,There were no children
from this marriage. My father was born in Green County, AR. in 1903 and died
in 1990.

Hi Bill Haven't had much time for this lately, but have looked at the
new pages and think they are great. I for one can appreciate all of the time
envolved with a project of this enormous size.
You have really done a great job.
Is the following what you want to post? Please use anything of mine that
you want with my full aproval.
If you can tell me what you want me to send I will sure do it.
Thanks Gladys Wahl in Des Moines, Ia.

Hi Bill, I finally got the stuff in the mail that I wanted to send
you. It went out today, Let me know when you get it, please. I hope
it will prove useful to others.
I can't get my line on from the library computer, but it is
Dave Weaver,
Elizabeth and John Eddings,
James and Rhoda Eddings,
William and Minerva Milburn,
John and Mary Milburn,
Arthur and Lois Milburn,
me, Mary Milburn Emmerling.
If anyone is looking for info on that line, I have quite a bit and am
willing to share what I have. I just have to do snail mail a lot, as I
am limited time wise and with what we are allowed to do from the
library. Hope this finds you and yours well and safe.
Bye for now. Mary

I have been using this site for a while in the research of my Eddings
line. I added my great grandfathers name and grandfathers etc. Then I got
this e-mail and realized I never did my Eddings line. I guess it is time
to rectify that mistake of ignoring a page on the site. Here is my Eddings
line:

dear bill. my name is renee sill-johnson.
my fathers name was darrell g. sill.
my gramma is syble a. brimm-sill, ( she will be 91yrs.old, october30,2010).
her parents were thomas a. brimm/ minnie b. newton.
martha l. zena eddings and william c. brimm was her grand-parents.
her grt. grand-parents were elizabeth 'betsey' melton and richard d. eddings.
her grt-grt-grand-parents were john eddings/ frances elizabeth weaver.
her grt-grt-grt-grand-parents were dave weaver/ elizabeth tooley.
i would be honored if i can get an answer back to this e-mail. sillbass84@yahoo.com
thank-you. renee. my e-mail address is; sillbass84@yahoo.com.

Bill, I (actually my husband) come from the same line as the one George
Davis submitted. I would just add that John died in 1844 in Lincoln County
MO, and Orlinda (who was from Goochland County, VA) died in 1870 in Warren
County, MO.
My husband's family descends from James Edward
to James Henry (b. 1859 d.1915)
to Homer (b. 1886 d. 1960) I would like to hear from any Missouri family
with additional information. Particularly any descendents of Charles Boston
(Eddings) whose house blew away in a tornado in Warren County in May, 1833.
Charles, his wife and children were injured, but not badly.. However, the
wife's mother (Mrs. Catherine Northcutt) was blown 150 ft. and die.

Subject: [EDDINGS-L] My direct ancestry line
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 20:10:33 -0500My Line is like this:
Me - Mary Eddins Johnson
My Father - Robert Franklin Eddins 1908-1990
Grandfather - John Franklin Eddins 1877-1936
Ggrandmother - Sarah Ellen Eddins 1850-1921,(didn't married until after John
was born)
GGgrandfather - John Eddins m Mary MartinAND due to cousins marrying,
I am also descended from Sarah Ellen's
brother Joseph Robert 1849-1930 (their children intermarried)
This Eddins family has shown up on the NC/SC border - Anson, NC and
Chesterfield, SC and I can't seem to find info on them before 1850.
John Eddins and Mary Martin also had a son Riley b ca 1842; a son
Jackson b ca 1859
Oral family tradition was the family was 'from Georgia' and that at
least one of the children, Riley went 'back to Georgia, I can't seem to
prove or disprove this.
Any help anywhere out there???Mary

Hi, My name is Faye Reynolds and I just became a member of the Eddings
mailing list last week. I am new to genealogy and have found it very interesting
(and time consuming!).

The Eddings are on my mother's side of the family and I haven't been able
to go any further back than John Calvin Eddings which doesn't seem to be
related to any of the lines of members that I have seen so far.

Ella Jane Eddings was born in Douglas Co. Mo. in 1881. Ella Jane Eddings
was the daughter of Josephus Eddings and Lucinda Williams.

Her parents died when she was young. We think she then moved in with her
sister Lydia and her husband Aaron "Newt" Fulton.

Ella had my grandmother Millie Mae out of wedlock in Feb. 1899. We are
not sure who Millie's real father is but we believe it was Newt Fulton. Lydia
and Newt Fulton divorced and then he lived with Ella Jane the rest of his
life. (I say lived together because we have never been able to locate their
marriage licence).

Sometime after 1910 they moved to Oklahoma. Newt died abt. 1936.
Ella lived in Sequoyah Co. Oklahoma although I can't find them on any census
records after they left Missouri.
Newt raised Millie as his own child and if he wasn't her father nothing was
ever mentioned about it.
Millie married Charlie Hill abt. 1919 and they lived in Sallisaw, Sequoyah
Co. Okla. They had 2 children.
Robert Lee Hill b. 1920
Agnes Marie Hill b. 1922

Most all of the Fulton family is buried at the Box Cemetery in Sequoyah
Co. Okla.
Exceptions are Nelson Ray Fulton who moved to California and is buried there
and my Grandmother
Millie who moved here to Missouri and is buried in Pike Co. Missouri.

I certainly hope I'm doing this correctly. Anyway, here goes: I've enjoyed
receiving the e-mails, and since you're always saying to post your ancestors
as soon as you feel comfortable, I guess I'm just about as comfortable as
I'll get.

2. SAMUEL EDDINGS2 CASTEEL (SARAH (EDDINGS)1) was born December 05, 1813
in East Tennessee, and died April 19, 1885 in Meridian, MS (Rose Hill Cemetery).
He married (1) UNKNOWN. He married (2) MARY A. GRAYSON December 27, 1849,
daughter of RALPH GRAYSON and CATHERINE MCCARTY.

My line starts with Walker Eddins b.1805 in Virginia. He married Rhoda
Booton June 4,1833.She was born in 1809.
Their son Dewitt is my gggg grandfather.Dewitt born April 27,1839 in
Virginia.
He married Ann Zirkle Aug.20,1863 in Illinois.
Their son Charles Randolph Eddings b.10/8/1868 married Cordelia E.Wing
Sept.18,1890.
Their son William Clinton Eddings b.July 5,1897 married Elizabeth Maude Daniel.
She was born 4/3/1899.
They had a son William Eddings Jr.born 9/5/1921.He is my grandfather. He
married Wilma Magee b.3/17/1923,d.9/24/1966.
Their son James R.Eddings in my father.

I have some evidence that Walker's parents were Elijah and Ann Eddins
of Page Co. Virginia but have not yet confirmed this info.Any other info
would be appreciated.

I am new to the list, having just subscribed today!
I am a direct descendant of William "Rilah" (B) Eddins, thru his son Richard,
of Chesterfield Co. S.C. I just recently received some printed material from
another Eddins descendant and would like to know if someone else is researching
this same family. I am looking forward to meeting other "Eddings". I did
not know this list existed until today.

Here is a more current -- and I think more accurate--report on my Eddins
line (with thanks to Bob Eddings and information from other Eddins
researchers):
William Eddins I (born about 1662, in England, died April 4, 1732, in
Spotsylvania County, Virginia) and Rebecca Unknown.

William Eddins II (born about 1688, England or Virginia, died 1754, in
Lunenburg County, Virginia) and Rebecca Firth.Benjamin Eddins (born May 2, 1735, Orange Co., Va., died Dec. 26, 1818,
Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama) and Judith Norris.Joseph Balus Eddins (born Sept. 14, 1777, died Sept. 14, 1839, Tuscaloosa
Co., Alabama) and Elizabeth Walker.Joseph Balus Eddins (born July 13, 1816, Alabama, died July 7, 1884,
Tuscaloosa, Alabama) and Clementine Miller.Sheldon Augustus Eddins (born Nov. 24, 1867, Tuscaloosa, Ala., died April
4, 1958, Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama) and Ella Bishop Blocker.Annie Laura Eddins (born Tuscaloosa County, Alabama) and John Gordon
Johnson.Mary Anne Johnson Price (me) (born Birmingham, Alabama, now living in
Tallahassee, Florida).

Thanks again for your help. I love the webpage, because we can see everything
in one place!

I have enjoyed being on the Eddings list. Thanks for any input you might
have on the above lines. I can add dates/places and such for anyone else
who is interested further. My parents would not believe me when I told them

Bill, attached is the Eddings geneology I sent you the email about. If
you
want to put an email for anyone to query about this geneology they can send
it to me at mrmac2@infionline.net I have deleted a bunch of census notes
and family stories so it will be only 11 pages. Much more concise than the
original one. I am looking forward to seeing it on the Eddings Website.
